Lucy from Lulabelle invited me along with a lot of other bloggers to this exclusive Yoga session at Pure Yoga. I learned a lot about Yoga from this session. I learned that those simple poses looked way harder than it seems. I could feel my bones cracking nonstop at the start of the session.

Somehow I feel like yoga is something anyone can join, but not everyone can relax while doing yoga. I was out of breath most of the time, and I guess I wanted to do it right so I focused on perfecting the poses instead of relaxing. But it helped me with my breathing. I didn't have a chance to talk much about it because I flew to Tokyo and came back with a lot of work on my lap. Having a terrible laptop worsen the situation as well.

I was given a peppermint essential oil. Apparently it is really effective in curing most small problems like headache and sinus. You can rub on temples to relieve headache, make into peppermint tea to help indigestion and soothe the tummy. You can always inhale when feeling dizzy or nauseous. Diffuse peppermint to improve focus and concentration. Or you can place one drop into hot water, inhale to relieve sinus and headache. Seems like peppermint is so useful, I never knew that. I used to think by drinking peppermint tea would simply help with the tummy. Knowledge increases!

Hello
loves! I was watching Little Mix’s Love Me like You MV and I was so in love
with their high school prom theme. I love Jade’s dress best, despite long she
managed to bring out the cute and fun in it. I love hers the best also mainly
because hers was more prom-like compared to other girls.

I
prefer more elegant look compared to funky ones, although my personality
probably calls for more fun and cute ones instead.

This
A-line Scoop Neck Chiffon Tulle Floor-length Beading Prom Dresses gives off a
very elegant look. However, some may say it looked a little more like wedding
events more than prom. I checked and realized they offered in many other
colours too. So many opting for silver or black would be a better choice. The
high cut allows you to show off your legs and brings attention to your choice
of heels. Most long dresses tend to cover the heels and it is such a shame,
isn’t it?

This
A-line Straps Ankle-length Chiffon Beading Prom Dresses not only caught my
attention because it was on flash sales, but also because it reminded me of a
certain celebrity would totally wear it. I was thinking maybe Taylor Swift
would wear this… But suddenly Nina Dobev appeared in my mind. I don’t remember seeing her wearing this, but
oddly feels like it is something her character in The Vampire Diaries would wear,
or for a promo photoshoot? Maybe it’s just this model, she gave the very Nina
Dobev feel to it. I really like the back design, it is not overly revealing
like a bareback but it still shows skin.

Hello
loves! Recently my secondary school just contacted the Alumni to return to
school to collect our time capsule. I’ve must long forgotten about this time
capsule, because clearly I have no memories of writing anything. But I vaguely
remembered placing it outside of the school hall or something.

Thinking
of old times and about school made me have that little urge to go stalk some of
my school mates prom photos. As some of you may know, I have never attended
prom in my entire life, so I was saved from the embarrassment and shame of bad
makeups and horrible fashion.

No
hate, my best friend and I used to laugh at some photos and insisted that some
fashion were so horrible that it made them looked old. ‘Old’ isn’t really a
compliment here for a 16 years old teenager.

This
A-line Sweetheart Short/Mini Chiffon Rhinestone Prom Dresses is so adorable. I
know many girls like sparkly prom dresses, but I opt for those simplicity ones.
For this dress, it looked low-key but still has the sparkles around the waist
area. They have it in black or royal blue as well, but I think a pastel colour
is more likely to grab attention as most girls will opt for ‘safe’ colors.

This
A-line One Shoulder Short/Mini Tulle Appliques Prom Dresses caught my attention
as well. It is not sparkly for all those girls who prefer a low profile yet
still want to doll up for prom. The prints are very cute and uniquely placed at
the side of the dress. But I love the back most, the prints connect all the way
to the back and end with a bow. This look is super young and fun, great for
teenage girls for proms.

So
did you enjoy your prom? Or are you facing crisis looking for the perfect
dress? Let me know!

The other day I went down to Horne Road looking
for a certain café, but was drawn to a Cat wearing Zoro mask and a Lenny face.
It had to be good. Abandoning my quest for the café I was looking for, I
settled for The Tiramisu Hero.

I was greeted by the staff and the myriad of
warm orange lights, wooden furnishings and images of The Tiramisu Hero in
various feline poses which made for a cosy yet fun ambiance. There were no real
cats though.

First up was their Hot Chocolate. Rich and
thick, and with a handful of nibble-size marshmallow thrown in. It’s everything
you’d expect to get from a hot chocolate.

Next up was potato truffle puffs which was
basically little fluffy harsh browns (or tater tots) tossed in truffle oil,
served with a tangy dip akin to home-made Thousand Island dressing. Absolutely
delicious when hot, this is a must try for truffle lovers. My only peeve that I
found the puffs a little too oily, and I don’t think it was because of the
truffle oil. A necessary evil, I suppose.

For mains was the Pasta with Truffle and Sage.
I found the truffle and sage quite subtle, maybe due to the starter. The noodle
was a thick, wavy fettuccine done al Dante and served with a heavy mushroom and
cream carbonara – quite filling.

Lastly I had a Muddy Dirt Pot, hark back to my
now dead mint plant – the resemblance was uncanny. After the Instagram moment
with the mint I proceeded to uproot it and eat the dessert. Okay, premium
chocolate ice cream and crushed Oreo biscuit is no mystery to most of us, but
the muddy dirt pot is a really cute concept.

On the way out I picked up a jar of their
namesake dessert.

Would I recommend a visit to this cute little
cafe? Definitely yes. The food, though a little pricy, is of
undeniable standard and there is a selection of novelty items on sale that
would also make great gifts. Even if it's just for a cup of coffee, the cute
decor of the cafe (even the al fresco is terribly well done) will put a smile
on your face

TL;DR

Customer service: 8/10

Ambiance: 10/10 until the office people came.

Accessibility: drive can park at the car park
next to the stadium. A stone throw away from lavender station.

Work space: quiet enough to do your work unless
a group of people come in.

Hello
November. Hello autumn. Hello to those who still read my humble space. I’d
apologize for not writing, but I guess I won’t. I was facing some kind of writer’s
block and lack of confidence in terms of fear of not writing at least decent
articles. I received some bad remarks from a friend’s friend saying my writing was
horrible, which was quite hurtful. I guess I knew my writing was never that
well to begin with. However, now that I am here it means it doesn’t get to me
as much as it did before. I told myself that it doesn’t matter if my writing is
bad, I can always improve it. Why should I be upset over someone’s remarks-
someone who probably only visited my blog once? Why should I give up something
I have been doing because it is hard?

As
the year is almost over, I hope to be able to achieve a few things for my blog.
I hope I can catch up with the due posts I was supposed to write, Japan trip
breakdown and create more content. I was thinking I should write up my Japan
trip since I know there were quite a few people asking me about my budget and
itinerary. It can be useful for anyone who wants to travel to Japan too.

I
reorganized my blog and decluttered the space. I thought my previous template
was too cluttered. With this new template, it looked less girly and more
professional. I actually wanted to change my URL but I realized most of my
readers are used to this link.

At This Moment | November

I
will still be continuing this column to keep an update of what I’ve been doing.
Do leave me some suggestions on what other contents you would like to see for
this space. J

I
have been listening to the top pop hits recently because I think recently the
music has been quite decent.

Planning:

Trying
to register for a few things, and trying to create more content for this blog.
No much plans on any other stuffs though.

Learning:

I
have been taking Pole recently and I have graduated my beginner course.
Currently learning to invert better, cupid transitions and a new dance routine.
Other than Pole, I have been playing a lot of Dota recently. I guess that’s why
I didn’t write as much as I used to. Learning to not suck at playing games as
much as before. My Asian mom forbids me to game, so when I was younger I used
to play at LAN shops instead. I never really commit to playing any game for
long since I was always broke and no money for LAN shops. She still very much
disapproves of me gaming, but I am paying for my own Wifi and I got my own
gaming laptop.

Wanting:

I
think I am hooked to this first world problem- wanting to travel but not rich
enough to do so. I am dying to get out of Singapore and explore the world. My
mom said I was quite ambitious because my first trip overseas was so far.
Instead of Malaysia or somewhere cheaper and nearer, I went Japan. Honestly I
don’t mind Japan that expensive compared to Singapore. Not sure why people
always tell me Japan is darn expensive. Maybe compared to other ASEAN
countries, but not Singapore.

I
will end my post here. I hope if you are still reading my posts, you will
continue to support me, a few new posts will be out soon.
